For this task I am required to explore different applications of motion graphics and compositing to devise and produce a sequence(s) to be
included in my music video that I am currently producing.
No.1 Compositing Music Video Final by Angelina Monetz

They then applied the background and the different animations for example the large CD at 0:42.
They also included a picture of a old room which they put behind both the CD and the singer/guitarist.
They also used motion graphics in the video with form of kinetic typography in the video which made the text look like sound waves which was very clever and interesting.
The video also used a very interesting way of editing the singer with the footage. They made use of repetition and thanks to the green screens isolation effect it made it look very seamless.
Its also filled with 2D animation and graphics.

This whole video is a motion graphic which was done in a vector graphics style program.
They used a very cartoonish style of animation which made it very friendly towards the audience.
It also makes the whole video feel like your in a different world.

They added different things like toys and space ships which when combined with the animation style and setting it makes it feel like your sleeping and this is your dream or someone else's.
This is a 2D animation so it could have been made in a photoshop style program.

Its also very abstract for example it transitions from you looking at a regular house to then it being contained in a lightbulb and then a robot shutting down the bulb. This makes it feel like your or someone else's dream has just ended and they have woken up.
The text is also utilises kinetic typography as it appears and disappears as well as explodes as a way to appear and vanish.
Not to mention the font of the text makes it feel like its from a kids book or some kind of lullaby.
No.3 Its a Beautiful World by Samjt Hew
This music video is completely made out of motion graphics which could have been done in a vector graphics style program.
The video uses a cartoonish style of animation which makes it very friendly to the audience at first.
However the video uses this animation as a way to send a deeper message which is "protect the environment".
The video follows the lyrics of the song quite closely and uses them to support its point.
The video covers multiple nationalities in the video such as British, Italian, etc.
Which means that the issue that this video is trying to promote isn't a single persons problem or of a single country but of the whole world.
It also shows that if humans tried to help then we could make a difference.
The video also has a strong influence of 2D animation.
It makes heavy use of imagery and graphics.
It also has a strong emphasis on making animals seem like they are also to some extent like humans and have feelings.
For example an elephant was crying because his forest was cut down and he lost his tusks because of illegal poaching.
Another example is this penguin on the side is sweating because the sun is very hot and is melting the snow the penguin needs to survive.
No.4 The Show Lenka by Amber Gan

This music video is completely made out of motion graphics and would have been made in a vector graphics style program.
The video has a very prominent 2D graphics and animation influence.
The animation is very friendly towards the viewer.
It also focuses on the story of a girl who is looking for love but can't seem to grasp its meaning.
The video also uses a wide variety of kinetic typography by displaying the lyrics of the song.
The video also emphasises that love is slow and needs time which is reinforced by the image on the right which compares it to traffic which is shown as, slow and time consuming.
The video is also very abstract and moves the viewers perspective over multiple places or dimensions.
This could mean that this is just in someones head.
The video also shows how small a single persons desire is compared to the world and a good example of this would be the image on the right, which shows a bird (the person) and a planet (the world) being compared by size to one other.
